Personally I still can not figure out why the minimum number of pieces is 25.
When they say bulk I assume a minimum of 1,000. I would love to by 10,000 6x8
grey plates, if offered at a reasonable price. TLC is a buisness so I
certainly do not expect charity, but I am also an informed consumer. With bulk
packs there is no set R&D costs, no retail overhead, and minimal packaging. So
why the heck do they cost what they do?! I personally think they could be
making more profit by lowering the cost per piece and making the minimum number
of pieces much higher. (Like the aforementioned 1,000 minimum)
